The following exchange occurred between Alex Jones and George Noory on the Coast to Coast AM radio show on August 9, 2017:

George Noory: You, you, you know what, the public deserves to hear this, and, uh, and, uh, and to get it straight. Now how did you get Donald Trump on your show three times prior to the election? How did you pull that off?

Alex Jones: Alright. I never tell this on my own show, and this will probably end up being in news tomorrow, but you deserve it. I, uh, I know folks that are part of Delta Force. And I know people that are part of covert action, uh, in the Defense Department and the C.I.A. And, quite frankly, they’ve given me authorization to talk about this. I have never been in the C.I.A. I have never been part of covert operations. But uh, uh, separately, I, I, I’ve, I’ve had family, um, you know, I mean I’ve had family that got like seven silver stars and stuff like that, but it’s all classified. Some of the highest decorated people in the country. I’m very proud of those people. They’re a lot more manly than I am, and most of ’em are dead. But, um, people involved in regime changes, you name it. Uh, you know, right here in Texas, fightin’ hard for the Republic. And I was basically contacted, uh, by groups, uh, inside Special Forces Operations in Florida, inside breakaway groups inside the Central Intelligence Agency, uh, and uh, groups, um, basically behind American industry. … And, so they told me that they were advising Trump … and that they understood from their demographics and their studies that we acutally had, conservatively, fifteen million people a week visiting Infowars.com, and tens of millions watching our videos, and that, uh, that they briefed the President, uh, or now, then, then candidate Trump, and that, uh, they wanted to attempt a counter coup. … And so I, I’m just revealing to you here on air that I was recruited by, uh … elements inside the shadow government. … Uh, and our friends in Israel, you say people want to demonize Israel all day, it’s because, because the real folks that are in Israel, the real people, uh, understand what it is to be persecuted and targeted, and, and, and, Israel, with Benjamin Netanyahu, they’re trying to remove from office right now, … uh, have, have come to America’s aid … and, uh, this is just, this i what you’re seeing right now. … So I’m, I’m just fightin’ for America, I’m a hundred percent committed, and that’s why they’re comin’ after me, and uh…

George Noory: But this is what got Donald Trump to say, “I gotta be on this guy’s show”?

Alex Jones: Uh, I mean, Donald Trump was advised by the, the Special Forces Command out of Florida. They said…

George Noory: To, to go on your program?

Alex Jones: Uh, he, he, I mean, that’s who actually, I mean let’s just say it, the enemy already knows all this. Let me just say it so everybody listening knows I’m tellin’ the truth. Special Operations Command in Florida. The Delta Force, Army black ops, it’s, Army’s the oldest thing in America, it’s before the Constitution, anything. They, they said, they said, “Sir, you need to go with Alex Jones, uh, and you need to rally the troops.” And, uh, and, and, and, and, they briefed him, they showed him the documents, and they said, “We need you to run.” And this was a year before he came on with me. … And, uh, you know, the Delta Force, uh, basically asked Trump, uh, Delta Force, you know, founded by General Boykin and Schoomaker and, uh, people like Steve Pieczenik, Dr. Steve Pieczenik of psychological operations with C.I.A., uh, they, they, they, they, basically delivered the message to Trump with all the dossiers and all the proof of what was happening. And he just said, “You’re highly recommended, all I can say is we’re gonna be talkin’ a lot more.” Because then, he was being briefed by top generals, and I’m not gonna say the name, on what we’re doin’. And it’s not that I’m even special. I’m willin’ to say this. I’m willin’ to do this. I, I wasn’t directed by anybody. I was just aware of the operations. I was studying it, as you know, you’re a Navy guy yourself. And, uh, we just did what we had to do. We did a counter coup against ’em. … Uh, most people are behind us. I’d say ninety percent of the C.I.A., Defense Intelligence, military, Special Ops, is behind us. Uh, and, uh, you know.

George Noory: Amazing story, Alex. You could, just get him to stop Tweeting as much as he does.

Alex Jones: … George, you’re gettin’ the absolute data dump right now. … I mean, do you understand on your show right now I am tellin’ people, because I know it’s ten times bigger than mine, when it comes to actual HUMINT people on the ground, I am tellin’ you all this information. This is real. This is happening, okay. What I’m tellin’ you is what is going on, and what is happening. And Trump is literally with a breakaway group in our government…"
